Option traders tend to be very passionate about their style of trading and this interviewee is no different. John's trading strategy is centered around butterfly trades. This strategy consists of buying one put option, selling two lower-strike put options, and then buying a third lower-strike put option to create the butterfly. It sounds complicated, but with a few key secrets John shares, it makes him a full-time living. In the interview, John gives us the index this strategy works best on, how he watches that index for the right time to place the trade and the time frame chart that he uses to make sure he is on the right side of the market.

"Traders shouldn't have to lose money to learn how to trade." I love that attitude and was anxious to ask this interviewee more about how he learned how to trade. Today's interviewee uses off-the-shelf software to scan for stocks that meet his criteria. In this interview, Pradeep freely shares his scan methods and tells us exactly what the software is looking for to find great trades. We discuss the types of stocks he favors and how he does his homework in the evening to spot trades he will be taking the next day. Pradeep also explains his intraday scans and provided us with a chart that shows exactly where he enters and exits a typical trade. Finally, we discuss a few specific trades he had recently and how he found them and managed them from start to finish.

"Trading is like a bench press contest." I love it when good traders have great analogies to describe their methods. In this case, Seth is talking about how option traders should size their positions properly. We talk about why he is almost always on one side of the market and how simple (and sometimes complex) option spread trades have helped him make a living trading options for many years. Seth starts off with the basics but we quickly move into his favorite option trading strategies that he describes in detail, including the "heart friendly butterfly" that make up his foundation of money-making trades. I don't get a chance to talk with many option traders, and I really enjoyed speaking with Seth - you'll learn several great trading methods in this interview.
